This summer alongside autumnal OPI collection we also got a collection of blendable polishes for nail art. Color Paints collection consists of eight sheer polishes and silver base. They can be bought individually or as a set of silver polish and five colours in mini bottles.

Among polishes I got last month at a blog sale I managed to snag a particularly interesting polish. It is part of Mortal Kombat collection Dance Legend placed on the market at the end of last year. Three polishes that this collection consists of are inspired by characters from Mortal Kombat game and they are all thermal. They come in 6,5 ml bottles and they retail for 8,7 € at Hypnotic Polish and on Nail Land for 8,5 €.

The last matched manicure of this year is appropriately inspired by New year, fireworks in particular. This is a design I can't paint, but fortunately I didn't even have to try to do it because I can use one of newer MoYou Nails image plates.

When first images of OPI Germany collection started to appear, two polishes drew all the attention - Every Month is Oktoberfest and German-icure By OPI. At that time we didn't know that bloggers received these two polishes mislabeled and for weeks we thought that the inky one filled with shimmer is German-icure and that rich brown-reddish shimmer is EMiO. The confusion was sorted out, I got the one I found more interesting (EMiO) and the world kept on spinning. However, last week I found several German-icures on sales so I finally got myself one.

A long time ago, when I wrote my article about magnetic polishes, I mentioned that Alessandro also has this product, but for years I couldn't bring myself to actually buy one. It was partly because of price, which at the time was around €15 for set of one polish and magnet, and partly because of choice of polish colour and magnet pattern. But one of them ended up in the package that I got from importer and now I remember how and why I fell in love with magnetic polishes in first place.

Since we've been getting only partial Essie collections, and not to my taste, I am turning to a collection that was to my liking. (I have no idea who gets to choose what will be imported and the bigger unknown is where do the manufacturer and the "creative" team get ideas for another not-quite-white or just-a-tad-different-from-classic-red polish.) This polish is from Dress to Kilt collection from autumn 2014.

These past few days we've had some light shining through clouds so I took the opportunity to wear one of current duochrome polishes. This is China Glaze Cabin Fever, which is not only part of an autumn collection (The Great Outdoors), but is in true autumnal shades.

I have recently had an opportunity to cross off several indie and otherwise not that easy to come by polishes from my wish list, and I some that haven't been on my wish list have found their way to me as well. Among them was a pair of Darling Diva polishes from The Salem collection. That was a Halloween 2014. limited edition collection so this polish is no longer available. You can get other Darling Diva polishes directly from the manufacturer.

Did it ever happen to you to fall in love with depiction of a polish, eagerly wait for it to come to your place, realize that it will not be imported to your country and to an extent even give up on it, afterwards get a chance to buy it, spend time and money to get your hands on it and end up disappointed? That is my story of Essie Coat Couture from Cashmere Matte collection. Since this collection is not planned for our market I was not in a rush to blog about it, but I feel it is time for me to show it. I managed to get this bottle in a small nail salon in Vienna and it cost me 12,5 €.

Natty is one of Zoya polishes that I was so eagerly awaiting to arrive. I bought it as soon as it was imported and fterwards, as I so often tend to do, completely neglected it. Unjustly, naturally, so today I am correcting this injustice. :) Zoya polishes don't contain toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and animal products and are not tested on animals.

You could see in my monthly new-in post that MoYou Nails has produced a new collection of image plates and that I got the entire collection to show you. I will not do it in some particular order, instead I am starting with a plate that you have already seen a design from in the latest matched manicure.

November was filled with news and new items. A large part of those are made of things I write about here and I have to say how pleased I am that I get to show them to you. Firstly, there was a surprisingly rich package filled with diverse Alessandro products and I am now enjoying in trying them before I write about them. After that I got Sephora The Magic Game set from Šminka je ljubav. You can read abut that set here. Final big new arrival is the entire collection of new square MoYou Nails stamping plates. Two smaller items that reached me this month are spikes that I ordered over two months ago from Born Pretty Store and preowned Dior Gris Montaigne that I got at really great price. I have ordered some more stuff this month, but I expect them to arrive in December and in January and I am so looking forward to receiving them.
